Cities often have police that live in the suburbs or exurbs that have open contempt for the citizens and their values. Portland Oregon is a notable example. Really, most cities are good examples. NYC is kind of an exception since I think the NYPD have to live in the city, but they all just live in Long Island, which is the most suburban feeling borough
ETA: I don’t know what I’m talking about with NYPD. I’m adding extra boroughs :facepalm:
Listen to the song by the Beastie Boys called An Open Letter to NYC. It’s the easiest way to memorize things for most people, put it to a song, this song’s chorus is catchy and repeatable enough to maybe stick.

Long Island is not a borough of NYC.
Oh. Doh. Maybe I was thinking of Staten Island? IDK. Sorry for being a source of misinformation
Hey, I learned too.
All I know about Long Island is that it’s pronounced Lawn Guyland.
Yeah cops in cities don’t themselves live in the cities. They’re an occupying force, they can’t live there.

Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island are the five Burroughs
And the greatest of these is Brooklyn.
